Affordable, easy-to-use digital video equipment, widely available high-bandwidth connectivity and the variability of distributed networks and messaging protocols provide an opportunity to expand the ways people utilize video-based storytelling. Research in the Shareable Media Project includes tool design, exploration in aesthetic structures and methods for developing Shareable Media communities. The research infrastructure supports applications concerned with contextual browsing, context sensitive display as well as the formation of contextual communities.

Four demonstrations highlight different aspects of the Shareable Media project:

Individeo -- developed by James Jung-Hoon Seo;

PlusShorts -- developed by Aisling Kelliher;

M-Views -- developed by Pengkai Pan; and the

Scaleable Architecture -- developed by Cathy Lin and Pengkai Pan.
